WASHINGTON, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Poor people in many
countries receive lower-quality health care and fewer health services than
the rich. What can be done to change this pattern? Some strategies have
shown positive results, such as setting specific goals for improving health
coverage of the poor, or soliciting poor clients' opinions on the design
and operation of health systems.

On July 15 at 12:00 noon at the Wilson Center, Cesar Victora, a
visiting professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health,
and Lynn Freedman, a professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of
Public Health, will highlight some policies that have succeeded -- and
others that have failed -- in delivering high-quality, affordable health
services and products to all people. They will also recommend future steps,
paying particular attention to maternal and child health.
